"What if My Nana Was a Banana?" By David Keyes with art by Lauren Lowen, empowers kids to tell their own silly stories and reinforces that no question is off limits. The story is about a kid who innocently wonders what would happen if their Nana was a banana, and results in the pair of them taking down bad guys, blasting clown cars with lima bean soup, and taming giant space monkeys. David Keyes is a mathematician turned children's book author. His only other published work, Fp-codes, theta functions, and the Hamming weight MacWilliams identity, makes no mention of bananas. He lives in Berkeley, CA with his wife and daughters. Lauren Lowen is an illustrator living outside of Nashville, TN, with her husband, two kids, and dog. She graduated from The Rhode Island School of Design and has created artwork for a variety of projects including advertising, publishing, and products. When not illustrating, Lauren teaches illustration to college undergraduates, eats sushi, and dreams of future travel. She believes that everyone has the power to summon their inner Nana Banana! Christa Fletcher is the founder of EmpowerMint Press, a hybrid publishing company that helps writers publish inspiring books for kids.
